Enjoyed on tap as part of a sampler at Ale Asylum in Madison, WI. Appearance is a murky light brown with a thin white head. Aroma of slight spice, nothing much else. Taste is alright, kind of light, spice comes out a little, not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with lots of fine particles and a rather yellowy off-white head. Aroma has lots of cloves, bubble gum, and pear yeast notes, hints at something like caramel. Flavor leads again with yeasty clove, pear, and bubble gum, blending with a strong earthiness, nuttiness, a little toffee perhaps. Pretty tasty.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, nice floral hops with catnip notes, biscuit malts, very nice. In mouth, a nice smooth biscuit malt with nice citrusy hops, nice and smooth, clover notes, very nice. On tap at the Istmus Beer and Cheese, Jan 21 2012.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a Tuesday night prior to leaving this frozen city for warmer weather in California. Appearance is a red/orange amber with a thin white head that rims around the glass and tiny floating yeasties...the color is very vibrant. Aroma is filled with hops, mostly citrus with a slight grassy, and caramel malt, slight bit of grapefruit, nice smell. Taste bursts with flavor, it’s very bitter, but not too bitter, it retains its enjoyability factor. Hops are the dominating aspect with again mostly citrus, and it does provide a bit of sweetness. Ale Asylum comes through with another really good, solid brew.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of cbfobes. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish amber color with a thin tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big floral hops, berries, citrus and pale malts. The taste is toffee, berries, resin and citrus hops. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bottle. Cloudy amber body. Fizzy off-white head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of orange juice, citrus, raw grain, caramel, biscuit, sweet malts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, moderate carbonation. Sweet citrus taste with notes of caramel and orange peel. Hop bitterness with some pine resin flavor kicks in just at the right time. It lingers into the finish. Very tasty amber ale.

Bottle. Cloudy, deep golden body. Frothy white head, slowly diminishing. Hop aroma of citrus, sweet orange juice, grapefruit, caramel, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Flavor leaves more raw hop taste than aroma would suggest. And it’s not as sweet as expected. Similar in many ways to Alpha King, but not as bold in body or flavor.

Draft at AA. Amber-brown-red with a steady off-white/beige head. Clean and doughy, shos a little more balance than most American-Belgians. Quite fresh and full bodied, creamy almost nitro mouthfeel. Somewhere between a Belgian amber and brown. A really enjoyable beer. QUite clean and well attenuated for the style.

Shaker pint draft at the Brewery and Deli in Madison, Wisconsin. Pour is a lightly hazed golden orange with a smallish off white head that leaves pretty lacing. Aroma is soft belgian yeast and bright fresh orange citrus hops. Taste is very much the nose, with great integration and balance between the nuance of the Belgian yeast and the crisp fresh lemon and orange of the citrus. Palate is light to med bodied, unfiltered mouth feel. Nice one, this was my beer of the weekend.

12 ounce bottle from Steve’s Mineral Point Madison, WI. Pours a hazy amber color with a large frothy tan head. Good head retention. Big floral hops in the aroma with some faint malts. The taste is fresh grapefruit notes, some other citrus hop notes and pale malts. Medium bodied. Quite refreshing.
